dutch john Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Gary... thanks for the heads up... I'm having considerable trouble with my computer... Aboutthree months ago I bought a new one with all the extras... Having problems with it... Popular Mining Magazine... Issue 77...Hopefully KID SAXON will see this and respond... To Kid Saxon... issue 77 was the last onepublished by Nancy Glenn. Future issues were to be published by another publisher... Actually 77 was sorta a crossover between the new and old; both worked together toput out what was to be the final edition by Nancy and the first by Ronald....My interest in 77 is in the field test of the then newly introduced White's Goldmaster-3... I was given the honor of field-testing it for Popular Mining... It is detailed and extensive.Nancy never edited any of my stuff... Actually, I was one of the contributing writers(As are several contributors to this forum, such as Don Alexander) In the writeup are several photos of our late son, Douglas. He was with me theentire time. We were in northern Nevada with Okie Jim during the first phaseof his Lunker Hill operation... we were at Middle Camp in Arizona where Dougfound a nice nugget... we were in the California Mojave desert, at Randsburg,and at Summit diggings... Bittersweet memories of times a father and a son shared a common "guy" thing.Doug was slowly slipping away with a mental illness. A complete set of Popular Mining is considered very collectable... I do not wantanyone to breakup a set... My offer was and still is... as I have a few odd issues...(as I'm not a collector of sets) is to trade one I have for a copy of one theydo not have... Actually I have several issues of 77; but always interested in another copy... My email is <[email protected]>. I check my messages everyday. (Rob... if to see this, I hope it is okay...)

dutch john Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Gary... Gosh you do not miss anything... KID SAXON and I are in touch. Both "Magnificent Quest" and "ADVANCED Prospecting" have been updatedin January.... Yes Lost Treasure is carrying ADVANCED and they have a smallpostage stamp size ad in their magazine... The ICMJ has a classified ad. The GPAA Gold Prospector has one of my ads. Rob also sells my books and advertises it in the "whats new" sub-forum... I have a BS degree in Geological Engineering, and a life Credentual insecondary education in California. I have taught earth science, lapidary(and even automotive classes) in adult education high schools. I eventaught a class on the UC Riverside campus on prospecting methods. I have worked underground using a "jackleg," and "longholed" into an orebody. Floated copper and "molly", tabled and floated scheelite; was a controlman at a diatomaceous earth plant I have ran a drill rig for a private soil-lab. Have "walked the line" for Cal-Trans checking the geology of proposed new urban freeway routes. As I write this my books are available from the following distributors:Jimmy Sierra, Gem Guides, and JOBE (Lifestyles in Hesperia). Theirdealers carry, or can get copies, of my books. My first detector was a military anti-tank mine detector... an SCR-625. I familiarized with it during ROTC basic training at the (then) CampCarson in Colorado back in 1953... Actually I knew of Grubstake way back... several of my adult education studentsbecame acquainted with Gary when he was instructing at Bagby. They wereso impressed with Garys knowledge they recommended Garys class to mystudents... it was a win-win for all.... Now you know a little more about Gary and me... we have known of eachother for many years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Boy Jim! Go ahead and keep rubbing in that Flat tire on Jerry. Instead of sandtrap maybe we should start calling him puncherpruff? Ha! Ha! Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZNuggetBob Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hey guys I never go out without my Tire plug kit, can of seal and air, 12v compressor and my all time favorite GREEN SLIME, and least two spare tires, if you think Nevada is bad try the out back of Mexico. Ok I just thought Id throw in two cents. Jim I was just reading your 2009 edition of advanced prospecting and detecting hardrock gold and you gave me some new ideas on some old ground up in Nevada, Im heading out in the morning I'll let you know how things go. also congratulations on you induction into the treasure hunters hall of fame, you got my vote. Take care AzNuggetbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sandtrap Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 The chunk of rock that was stuck in the sidewall made a 4inch long hole in it ..so much for one new tire Even a boot could not have fixed it.. My patch kit would NEVER have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 sandtrap some days the gold gods just aren't shinning down on ya. been there, on long haul trips I always take my dirt bike, best spare tire Ive ever had. well got to go Ive got a hot date with a gold mine in Nevada. Take care out there. AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 AzNuggetBob... May the goldgods smile and rain gold at you...However, you have quite a nose for gold... that I know fromfollowing your trail on the sidehill above Lunker Hill... The trouble with Sandtrap's truck is it is big and heavy... Heneeds to haul a crane with him to lift it... We still would be stuckalong the road if'n a couple of truckers hadn't stopped to supplythe needed "lift." Now, does anyone reading this thread know why "puncherpruff" is called "sandtrap?" (Sandtrap: Never mind why I'm known as "tailgate!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
